Josephine Thinwa shares her journey to becoming a physician scientist and how this led her to investigate the role of a neurologically important kinase in virus-induced autophagy. Just like people ...

This process, known as autophagy, is like a self-cleaning mechanism for cells, helping the cells stay healthy by getting rid of damaged parts and recycling useful components. The process involves ...

Little is known about the mechanism of autophagy, in particular, how autophagosomes, which are pouch-like lipid membranes holding degradation targets, expand. To address this issue, Noda's group in ...

In 2016, "Autophagy" (*1) (Fig. 1) became famous when Professor Yoshinori ... It also has important roles such as storage of ions including calcium, lipid synthesis, and other metabolism and ...
